Event: Run Black Diamond
 

A sort of model for the long tomorrow. General idea is that it's hot, steep, and open. I went with Eero and Melanie on a permanent course, but we only did eleven controls. Had to be back in fifty minutes.

Up. Not much space to run but I did already run this morning.

This was quite an interesting course. The majority of it took place on one very long, dense, and steep hillside, which meant lots and lots of walking. There was three hundred something meters of climb, and for the most part the routes were fairly straight forward, but they still needed to be executed well. I lost a bit less than four minutes on my ninth control by getting too far up the hill and then making a small parallel error, and I lost small bits and pieces here and there, but for the most part it went fairly well. Tomorrow will be interesting because route choice will be a much more significant factor than today.
